Statism: A System for your Enslavement

Wake Up, You Are A Slave

You were born into a system that enslaved you from the moment you entered this world. 1 All your life you’ve known subconsciously, if not consciously, that there was something seriously wrong with the world you live in. Even though you were brainwashed from very early childhood to ignore it, you’ve felt deep inside you that your right to life was constantly being attacked by the very system that was supposedly put in place to serve your best interests.

You’ve been trained from very early childhood — while your mind was still innocent and defenseless — to remain ignorant and docile by the “education” system. You’ve been trained not to independently think for yourself, not to question what you’re taught, to be subservient and to blindly be obedient to authority and follow the commands that you’re given. Like the famous comedian George Carlin said, those who are responsible for this “don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. That’s against their interests.” What they want are “obedient workers — people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork but just dumb enough to passively accept” their enslavement.

The time has come to wake up and understand how you’ve been enslaved by this system. You owe it not only to yourself, but more importantly to future generations — your family, your children and grandchildren — to confront the truth, and leave behind a better world and a better future for them.

A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years. Lysander Spooner

A System For Your Enslavement

The social system that you live in (Statism) wasn’t designed with your best interests in mind; it was specifically designed so that a small elite could very easily control, manipulate and enslave large groups of people. It can rightfully be called an anti-social system because it attacks and weakens every individual in society starting at the most fundamental level. It was designed to replace abject slavery, giving people the illusion of freedom while in reality they just went from one form of slavery — one where you know you are a slave — into another — one where you think you’re free but really aren’t. You see, when you think you’re free, there’s no reason for rebellion. Like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, “none are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”

The State […] is an anti-social institution, administered in the only way an anti-social institution can be administered, and by the kind of person who, in the nature of things, is best adapted to such service [a psychopath]. Taking the State wherever found, striking into its history at any point, one sees no way to differentiate the activities of its founders, administrators and beneficiaries from those of a professional-criminal class. As Dr. Sigmund Freud has observed, it can not even be said that the State has ever shown any disposition to suppress crime, but only to safeguard its own monopoly of crime. Albert J. Nock in “Our Enemy, The State”

To enslave the population, it was necessary for this anti-social system to be fundamentally designed around inequality.

Politics: Centralized Power Corrupts Absolutely

The political system is designed around inequality; here you have the notion of “authority” — the idea that certain people stand above others, and supposedly have the right to rule over others and forcibly dictate to them how to live their lives. They’re often referred to as “public servants” but this is just a term to fool you — it’s doublethink, as described by George Orwell in his book “Nineteen Eighty-Four.” In reality they are not your servants but your masters. Just think about it; are people who rule over you and can forcibly dictate to you how to live your life serving you, or are they serving themselves?

If “government” works for us, if it is our employee, why does it decide how much we pay it? Why does our “employee” decide what it will do for us? Why does our “employee” tell us how to live our lives? Why does our “employee” demand our obedience for whatever arbitrary commands it issues, sending armed enforcers after us if we disobey? It is impossible for “government” to ever be the servant, because of what “government” is, to put it in simple, personal terms, if someone can boss you around and take your money, he is not your servant; and if he cannot do those things, he is not “government.” Once a set of rulers are “in charge,” what the masses had intended for them to do with their power does not matter. This fact has been demonstrated by every “government” in history. Once the people create a master, the people, by deﬁnition, are no longer in charge.Larken Rose in “The Most Dangerous Superstition”

You don’t have to be a genius to figure out that nothing good can come out of concentrating power in the hands of a small group of people. As the saying goes, “power corrupts and centralized power corrupts absolutely.”

What is it that has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one body, no matter whether of the autocrats of Russia or France, or of the aristocrats of a Venetian senate. Thomas Jefferson (1816) quoted in “Our Enemy, The State”

You’re told that you live in a “democracy” and that you can have a say and change the course of things if you want to through your representatives. However, representative democracy is not democracy. The truth is that your representatives are bought and controlled, and you only have a say in trivial matters that don’t threaten the power of those who are in control. What you effectively have is a dictatorship where you are given the illusion of choice via the political parties, and the illusion of participation via a parliamentary system.

Political struggle that results in the victory of a candidate with, for example, 51 per cent of the votes leads to a dictatorial governing body in the guise of a false democracy, since 49 per cent of the electorate is ruled by an instrument of government they did not vote for, but which has been imposed upon them. This is the reality of the political systems prevailing in the world today. They are dictatorial systems and it is evident that they falsify genuine democracy.Muammar al-Qaddaﬁ in “The Green Book”

Parliament is a misrepresentation of the people, and parliamentary systems are a false solution to the problem of democracy. The mere existence of a parliament means the absence of the people. True democracy exists only through the direct participation of the people, and not through the activity of their representatives. Parliaments have been a legal barrier between the people and the exercise of authority, excluding the masses from meaningful politics and monopolizing sovereignty in their place. People are left with only a façade of democracy, manifested in long queues to cast their election ballots. Muammar al-Qaddaﬁ in “The Green Book”

Many people still believe that it’s not the system that is at fault, but that it’s the corrupt people who are in charge of the system that are the problem. These people believe that putting the right people — those with good intentions and integrity — in positions of power will fix all the problems. However, they fail to realize that it’s the hostile nature of the system that produces corrupt people to begin with. 2 The system is fundamentally hostile towards individuals, and corrupts them starting at a very early age during their childhood by attacking their right to life, which causes them to develop extreme and anti-social behavior. The truth is that this anti-social system that we live in, due to its inherent nature, can only produce people who are more or less psychopaths. Consequently, as long as this system is in place only the worst of the psychopaths in society will be in control of it. 3 Given enough time, it will always deteriorate until it finally collapses, as history has repeatedly shown.

The truth is that the State is a conspiracy designed not only to exploit, but above all to corrupt its citizens… Henceforth, I shall never serve any government anywhere.Leo Tolstoy

Economy: Inequity By Design

The economic system is also based on inequality; here you have capitalism, where groups of people must necessarily lose for others to be able to thrive. This encourages people to compete with one another and to develop predatory behavior. Workers are often treated as slaves in this system, which in fact they are. A group of powerful bankers admitted as much back in 1862 when they were considering abolishing abject slavery. They proposed introducing a new kind of slavery — the kind we have right now — where the slaves would be controlled via their wages. Here is what a banker wrote to his colleagues in 1862 in what is known as the Hazzard Circular (PDF):

Slavery is likely to be abolished by the war power and chattel slavery destroyed. This, I and my European friends are in favor of, for slavery is but the owning of labor, and carries with it the care for the laborer; while the European plan, led on by England, is capital control of labor, by controlling wages. THIS CAN BE DONE BY CONTROLLING THE MONEY. The great debt that capitalists will see to it is made out of the war, must be used as a measure to control the volume of money.

This almost makes Qaddafi — who was no doubt a very enlightened human being — sound like a prophet.

Wage-earners are but slaves to the masters who hire them. They are temporary slaves, and their slavery lasts as long as they work for wages from employers, be they individuals or the state. Muammar al-Qaddafi in “The Green Book”

As the bankers themselves admit, the whole monetary system is based on inequality; the notion that a small elite have the exclusive authority to create money out of thin air and then loan it out at interest (usury), thereby creating debt-slaves out of people, allowing for the rampant and large scale looting of their productivity. The forceful confiscation of people’s wealth via “taxation” — which is really legalized extortion and robbery — is also part of this scheme to enslave the population. You’re led to believe that taxation is necessary to pay for a civilized society, but in actual fact it turns out that taxation is necessary for the enslavement of society.4

Perhaps the biggest example of this is the fact that, […] the “government” not only “legalized” slavery via the “income tax,” directly and forcibly conﬁscating the fruits of people’s labor, but also, […] legalized a level of counterfeiting and bank fraud which boggles the mind. In short, the politicians gave bankers “legal” permission to make up money out of thin air, and to loan such fake, fabricated “money” out, at interest, to others, including “governments.” Though most people are unaware of the speciﬁcs of how such huge frauds and robberies occur via “ﬁat currencies” and “fractional reserve banking,” many people now have a gut instinct that “the banks” are doing something deceptive and corrupt. What they fail to realize is that it was “government” which gave the banks permission to defraud and swindle the public out of literally trillions of dollars.Larken Rose in “The Most Dangerous Superstition”

The central banks create money out of thin air; they give it to the government to bail out the banks, and we, the people, have to work longer and harder to pay them back — not with ‘thin air’ but with our sweat and blood. This is the immaculate deception of humanity. We are the slaves that keep the bankers in power. The banking industry is the biggest organized crime syndicate that has ever been exposed. But somehow they have managed to make themselves appear to be legitimate and their activities legalized and accepted by the very people they are extorting from. Michael Tellinger in “Ubuntu Contributionism”

And yet people still wonder where all the economic inequality that we have around the world right now comes from. As shown above, the answer lies at the heart of the economic system itself which is based on inequality and enables the forceful transfer of wealth from the population to the small elite who are in control. In other words, it enables the enslavement of the population by the small elite.

Watch the below video titled “The Biggest Scam In The History Of Mankind”; it does a good job of explaining the money scam put in place by the bankers under the authority of governments, and shows the purpose of income taxation in this system of enslavement.

Education: Imprisoning Your Mind

Professor Michio Kaku often likes to mention that we’re all born scientists. From the moment we’re born we’re filled with curiosity and we want to explore the world and learn. But like Kaku also mentions, society gradually crushes every bit of curiosity out of us as we grow up. The “education” system that exists in society right now wasn’t designed to stimulate your creativity and curiosity nor was it designed to teach you how to independently and critically think for yourself. On the contrary, it was specifically designed to make you passive and docile, and to teach you blind obedience to authority. Like astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson once remarked: “We spend the first year of a child’s life teaching it to walk and talk and the rest of its life to shut up and sit down. There’s something wrong there.”

The purported purpose of schools is to teach reading, writing, mathematics, and other academic ﬁelds of thought. But the message that institutions of “education” actually teach, far more effectively than any useful knowledge or skills, is the idea that subservience and blind obedience to “authority” are virtues.

The “grades” the student receives, the way he is treated, the signals he is sent — written, verbal, and otherwise — all depend upon one factor: his ability and willingness to unquestioningly subvert his own desires, judgment and decisions to those of “authority.” If he does that, he is deemed “good.” If he does not, he is deemed “bad.” This method of indoctrination was not accidental. Schooling in the United States, and in fact in much of the world, was deliberately modeled after the Prussian system of “education,” which was designed with the express purpose of training people to be obedient tools of the ruling class, easy to manage and quick to unthinkingly obey, especially for military purposes. As it was explained by Johann Fichte, one of the designers of the Prussian system, the goal of this method was to “fashion” the student in such a way that he “simply cannot will otherwise” than what those in “authority” want him to will. 5 At the time, the system was openly admitted to be a means of psychologically enslaving the general populace to the will of the ruling class. And it continues to accomplish exactly that, all over the world, including in the United States. Larken Rose in “The Most Dangerous Superstition”

Not only did this “education” system prepare you for your enslavement, but in fact you were brainwashed during most of your youth to actually desire your own enslavement, thinking that it’s the best way to live your life. You were robbed of your naturally free, independent and creative spirit, and coerced into developing a submissive and dependent character structure. People who are dependent can easily be controlled and governments, of course, would have it no other way.

Education, or learning, is not necessarily that routinized curriculum and those classiﬁed subjects in textbooks which youths are forced to learn during speciﬁed hours while sitting in rows of desks. This type of education now prevailing all over the world is directed against human freedom. It is a compulsory obliteration of a human being’s talent, as well as a coercive directing of a human being’s choices. It is an act of dictatorship destructive of freedom because it deprives people of their free choice, creativity and brilliance. To force a human being to learn according to a set curriculum is a dictatorial act. To impose certain subjects upon people is also a dictatorial act.

State-controlled and standardized education is, in fact, a forced stultiﬁcation of the masses. All governments which set courses of education in terms of formal curricula and force people to learn those courses coerce their citizens. All methods of education prevailing in the world should be destroyed through a universal cultural revolution that frees the human mind from curricula of fanaticism which dictate a process of deliberate distortion of man’s tastes, conceptual ability and mentality. Muammar al-Qaddaﬁ in “The Green Book”

Apart from being robbed of your creativity and brilliance via “education,” you are constantly kept in a survival mindset in an environment of artificial scarcity, created by an economic system based on inequality. If you’re kept struggling to survive every day, barely being able to provide for yourself, then you won’t have time to develop yourself intellectually and spiritually, and consequently will be powerless to rebel against the system that enslaves you. It’s actually proven that keeping people poor and in a constant survival mindset has a severely negative impact on their intelligence. 6 Indeed if you take a look around you in society, you’ll find that most people remain so intellectually poor that they don’t even realize that they are slaves, let alone being able to think about getting rid of the system responsible for their enslavement.

I have found that, to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and, as far as possible, to annihilate the power of reason. He must be able to detect no inconsistencies in slavery; he must be made to feel that slavery is right; and he can be brought to that only when he ceases to be a man. Frederick Douglass (1845) in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave”

This is the tragedy of the reality in which we live today, where people are being conditioned throughout most of their lives not only to accept, but to actually desire their own enslavement. It’s a reality where people willingly accept a way of life that works against them on almost all levels, and that allows a small elite to easily control and exploit them. 7

A Way Out: Start By Not Voting

If you realize what the purpose is of the anti-social system that we live in, you’ll do everything you can to stop participating in it. At the very least you’ll stop voting, because voting means giving your consent to this anti-social system being imposed on you and everyone else. It means giving your consent to injustice being committed on a grand scale, for example by legalized theft and extortion (known as “taxation”), legalized murder through warfare, and destructive interference in people’s lives. It means giving your consent to your own enslavement and that of everyone else. Even if you do agree with the system, voting means forcing this anti-social system on others who don’t want to take part in it. And that makes you part of a criminal enterprise whether you realize it or not.

Understand then all of you, especially the young, that to want to impose an imaginary state of government on others by violence is not only a vulgar superstition, but even a criminal work. Understand that this work, far from assuring the well-being of humanity is only a lie, a more or less unconscious hypocrisy, camouflaging the lowest passions we possess. Leo Tolstoy

You have to start letting go of the brainwash that was used to deceive you into becoming an obedient slave. You have to start critically thinking for yourself and scrutinize every bit of knowledge that you possess and all information that is fed to you, especially if it comes from governments and politicians. Realize that even the mainstream media cannot be trusted anymore; they’re bought and owned by the same elite who are behind this system of enslavement.

Politicians in the past hundreds of years have demonstrated that they are incapable of solving the many problems we’re dealing with in society. Not only are they often intellectually incapable of coming up with solutions, but the system itself is fundamentally flawed making it impossible for any solution to be developed and implemented from within.

Government enact many different laws in an attempt to control society. However, we find no evidence of a deliberate plan by any government to design a sustainable and workable social system to improve the lives of everyone rather than the few holding high positions in the established order. Many people assume that government leaders bring about change with a concern for the well-being of the citizenry, but nothing could be further from the truth. Established government systems seek to preserve and uphold their own interests and power-base. Politicians use every means of deception to consolidate their positions […] They talk around every issue without saying anything of substance […] They enact new laws to control behaviour and if these don’t work, they resort to force, boycotts, and blockades. But none of the methods ever addresses the root cause.Jacque Fresco in “The Best That Money Can’t Buy”

Like Albert Einstein said, “we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” We have to get rid of the current system of enslavement entirely if we want to solve the problems it creates for us for the long term. Trying to achieve equality and fairness in a system that was fundamentally designed around inequality is a futile undertaking.

The natural or universal laws, granting equal rights to every individual, have been replaced by constitutions in order to enslave us. The time has come to reclaim our natural rights and to remember who we really are.8

One who has been deprogrammed looks out at the world, and instead of seeing hierarchies of different ruling classes within different jurisdictions, sees a world of equals-not in talent, ability, or wealth, of course, but in rights. He sees a world in which each person owns himself, and he comes to the realization that he has no rightful master, that there is no one above him, and that that is true of everyone else, as well. He is beholden to no “government,” no “country,” and no “law.” He is a sovereign entity. He is bound by his own conscience, and nothing else. Larken Rose in “The Most Dangerous Superstition”

The world is moving towards peer to peer (P2P) systems that are fundamentally based on equality and voluntary participation and where there’s no (central point of) authority. Indeed it is the belief in authority that got us into the mess we’re in now; it has become like a religion to many people in society. 9

The belief in “authority,” which includes all belief in “government,” is irrational and self-contradictory; it is contrary to civilization and morality, and constitutes the most dangerous, destructive superstition that has ever existed. Rather than being a force for order and justice, the belief in “authority” is the arch-enemy of humanity. Nothing else comes close to the level of destruction — mental, emotional and physical — that has occurred throughout the world, and throughout recorded history, as a result of the belief in “authority.”

The belief in “authority” is so strong that it can convince otherwise rational people that the very thing which routinely robs, coerces and assaults them is needed to protect them from robbery, coercion and assault.

If no one believed in a legitimate ruling class, no one would ﬁght over who should rule. If there was no throne, no one would ﬁght over it. All civil wars, and nearly all revolutions, rest on the assumption that someone should be in charge. Without the superstition of “authority,” there would be no reason for such things to happen at all. Larken Rose in “The Most Dangerous Superstition”

In a hundred years, historians may look back on our present civilization as a transition period from the dark ages of ignorance, superstition, and social insufficiency just as we view the world of a few hundred years ago. We are products of a culture of deficiency which expects each confrontation and most activities to end with a winner and a loser. We can no longer afford the luxury of such primitive thinking.Jacque Fresco in “The Best That Money Can’t Buy”

Footnotes

Most countries in the world today are corporations and the citizens are their assets that are traded on global markets. By applying for a birth certificate when you were born, your parents unwittingly changed your status from “free human” to that of “citizen” and you became property of the state. Michael Tellinger has all the details about this in his book “Ubuntu,” which I highly recommend reading. As Larken Rose states in his book “The Most Dangerous Superstition”:

Every “country” is a huge slave plantation, and everything and everyone there is the property of the politicians. The believers in “government” never explain how it is that a few politicians could have acquired the right to unilaterally claim exclusive ownership of thousands of square miles of land, where other people were already living, as their territory, to rule and exploit as they see ﬁt. It would be no different from a lunatic saying, “I hereby declare North America to be my rightful domain, so anyone living here has to do whatever I say, if you don’t like it, you can leave.”

Humans are intrinsically good. Like any other organism however, humans start to develop extreme behavior when they are placed inside a hostile environment — especially one that is hostile towards them from the moment they are born and for most of their lives. I discuss this in details in my post on human nature. &larrhk;︎

Bizarrely, almost every statist admits that politicians are more dishonest, corrupt, conniving and selﬁsh than most people, but still insists that civilization can exist only if those particularly untrustworthy people are given both the power and the right to forcibly control everyone else. Believers in “government” truly believe that the only thing that can keep them safe from the ﬂaws of human nature is taking some of those ﬂawed humans — some of the most ﬂawed, in fact — and appointing them as gods, with the right to dominate all of mankind, in the absurd hope that, if given such tremendous power, such people will use it only for good. And the fact that that has never happened in the history of the world does not stop statists from insisting that it “needs” to happen to ensure peaceful civilization.

If human beings are so careless, stupid and malicious that they cannot be trusted to do the right thing on their own, how would the situation be improved by taking a subset of those very same careless, stupid and malicious human beings and giving them societal permission to forcibly control all the others? Why would anyone think that rearranging and reorganizing a group of dangerous beasts would make them civilized?

If a slave can be convinced that he should be a slave, that his enslavement is both proper and legitimate, that he is the rightful property of his master and that he has an obligation to produce as much as possible for his master, then he does not need to be physically oppressed. In other words, enslaving the mind makes enslaving the body unnecessary. And that is exactly what the belief in “authority” does: it teaches people that it is morally virtuous that they surrender their time, effort and property, as well as their freedom and control over their own lives, to a ruling class.

Frederick Douglass, a former slave, witnessed and described that exact phenomenon among his fellow slaves, many of whom were proud of how hard they worked for their masters and how faithfully they did as they were told. From their perspective, a runaway slave was a shameful thief, having “stolen” himself from the master. Douglass described how thoroughly indoctrinated many slaves were, to the point where they truly believed that their own enslavement was just and righteous: “I have found that, to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and, as far as possible, to annihilate the power of reason. He must be able to detect no inconsistencies in slavery; he must be made to feel that slavery is right; and he can be brought to that only when he ceases to be a man.”

The laws of the dictatorial instruments of government have replaced the natural laws, i.e., positive law has replaced natural law. Consequently, ethical standards have become confused. The human being is essentially, physically and emotionally, the same everywhere. Because of this fact, natural laws are applicable to all. However, constitutions as conventional laws do not perceive human beings equally. This view has no justiﬁcation, except for the fact that it reﬂects the will of the instrument of government, be it an individual, an assembly, a class or a party. The abrogation of natural laws from human societies and their replacement by conventional laws is the fundamental danger that threatens freedom. Any ruling system must be made subservient to natural laws, not the reverse.

The main factor distinguishing the belief in “government” from other religions today is that people actually believe in the god called “government.” The other gods people claim to believe in, and the churches they attend, are now, by comparison, little more than empty rituals and half-heartedly parroted superstitions. When it comes to their everyday lives, the god that people actually pray to, to save them from misfortune, to smite their enemies, and to shower them with blessings, is “government.” It is “government” whose commandments the people most often respect and obey. Whenever a conﬂict arises between “government” and the teachings of the lesser gods — such as “pay your fair share” (taxation) versus “Thou shalt not steal,” or “duty to country” (military service) versus “Thou shalt not murder”– the commands of “government” supersede all the teachings of the other religions. Politicians, the high priests of the church of “government”– the mouthpieces and representatives of “government,” who deliver the sacred “law” from on high — even openly declare that it is permissible for the people to practice whatever religion they wish, as long as they do not run afoul of the supreme religion by disobeying “the law”– meaning the dictates of the god called “government.”

Albert Einstein, as a youth, would have likely received an ADHD diagnosis, and maybe an ODD one as well. Albert didn’t pay attention to his teachers, failed his college entrance examinations twice, and had difficulty holding jobs. However, Einstein biographer Ronald Clark (Einstein: The Life and Times) asserts that Albert’s problems did not stem from attention deficits but rather from his hatred of authoritarian, Prussian discipline in his schools. Einstein said, “The teachers in the elementary school appeared to me like sergeants and in the Gymnasium the teachers were like lieutenants.” At age 13, Einstein read Kant’s difficult Critique of Pure Reason—because Albert was interested in it. Clark also tells us Einstein refused to prepare himself for his college admissions as a rebellion against his father’s “unbearable” path of a “practical profession.” After he did enter college, one professor told Einstein, “You have one fault; one can’t tell you anything.” The very characteristics of Einstein that upset authorities so much were exactly the ones that allowed him to excel.

The article also discusses how living in an authoritarian society is detrimental to an individual, and consequently to society as a whole. Psychiatrists and psychologists are being trained to drug people who don’t want to be enslaved into submission starting from early childhood. This is also an example of how the system perpetuates itself.

Some activists lament how few anti-authoritarians there appear to be in the United States. One reason could be that many natural anti-authoritarians are now psychopathologized and medicated before they achieve political consciousness of society’s most oppressive authorities.

Why Mental Health Professionals Diagnose Anti-Authoritarians with Mental Illness
Gaining acceptance into graduate school or medical school and achieving a PhD or MD and becoming a psychologist or psychiatrist means jumping through many hoops, all of which require much behavioral and attentional compliance to authorities, even to those authorities that one lacks respect for. The selection and socialization of mental health professionals tends to breed out many anti-authoritarians. Having steered the higher-education terrain for a decade of my life, I know that degrees and credentials are primarily badges of compliance. Those with extended schooling have lived for many years in a world where one routinely conforms to the demands of authorities. Thus for many MDs and PhDs, people different from them who reject this attentional and behavioral compliance appear to be from another world—a diagnosable one.

I have found that most psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals are not only extraordinarily compliant with authorities but also unaware of the magnitude of their obedience.

Like the very brilliant social engineer and futurist Jacque Fresco once mentioned, it’s “unsane to want to adjust people to this system” that we live in and that “psychologists have to be stupid to want to do this.”

Once we get rid of the notion of “authority” we’ll start to make significant progress in our development. What Einstein achieved with his rebellion against authority is merely a glimpse of what is possible once we free ourselves from the enslavement by authority.

I recently saw a documentary titled “Human” by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. I saw the extended version which consists of 3 volumes. In volume 3, a man named Didier from Spain is being interviewed around 1 hour and 2 minutes in. The below quote from him is especially interesting in the context of my above post:

I was arrested and taken to the police station by the police. They asked for my papers, more precisely, my residence permit. I said I didn’t have one. They insisted. I said: “When I was born, I didn’t come out of my mother’s womb with ID papers. I’m a citizen of the world. Wherever I go, I’m entitled to live. Must I have ID papers, to be entitled to live?”

We are all born free human beings; free citizens of this planet. It’s the anti-social system that we live in that divides us and categorizes us as Americans, Canadians, Japanese, Chinese etc. It makes us slaves of huge plantations called “states” or “countries,” as explained in my post above. We should be free to go anywhere we want on this planet and live where ever we want, with respect for everybody’s right to life.

We are so perverted by an education which from infancy seeks to kill in us the spirit of revolt, and to develop that of submission to authority; we are so perverted by this existence under the ferule of a law, which regulates every event in life — our birth, our education, our development, our love, our friendship — that, if this state of things continues, we shall lose all initiative, all habit of thinking for ourselves. Our society seems no longer able to understand that it is possible to exist otherwise than under the reign of Law, elaborated by a representative government and administered by a handful of rulers; and even when it has gone so far as to emancipate itself from the thraldom, its first care had been to reconstitute it immediately. “The Year I. of Liberty” has never lasted more than a day, for after proclaiming it men put themselves the very next morning under the yoke of Law and Authority.

Indeed, for some thousands of years, those who govern us have done nothing but ring the changes upon “Respect for law, obedience to authority.” This is the moral atmosphere in which parents bring up their children, and school only serves to confirm the impression. Cleverly assorted scraps of spurious science are inculcated upon the children to prove necessity of law; obedience to the law is made a religion; moral goodness and the law of the masters are fused into one and the same divinity. The historical hero of the schoolroom is the man who obeys the law, and defends it against rebels.

Later, when we enter upon public life, society and literature, impressing us day by day and hour by hour, as the water-drop hollows the stone, continue to inculcate the same prejudice. Books of history, of political science, of social economy, are stuffed with this respect for law; even the physical sciences have been pressed into the service by introducing artificial modes of expression, borrowed from theology and arbitrary power, into knowledge which is purely the result of observation. Thus our intelligence is successfully befogged, and always to maintain our respect for law.

But times and tempers are changed since a hundred years ago. Rebels are everywhere to be found, who no longer with to obey the law without knowing whence it comes, what are its uses, and whither arises the obligation to submit to it, and the reverence with which it is encompassed. The rebels of our day are criticizing the very foundations of Society, which have hitherto been held sacred, and first and foremost amongst them that fetish, law. Just for this reason the upheaval which is at hand is no meet insurrection, it is a Revolution.”

…

All this we see, and, therefore, instead of inanely repeating the old formula, “Respect the law,” we say, “Despite law and all its attributes!” In place of the cowardly phrase, “Obey the law,” our cry is “Revolt against all laws!”

…

The history of the genesis of capital has already been told by Socialists many times. They have described how it was born of war and pillage, of slavery and serfdom, of modern fraud and exploitation. They have shown how it is nourished by the blood of the worker, and how little by little it has conquered the whole world. The same story, concerning the genesis and development of law has yet to be told. As usual, the popular intelligence has stolen a march upon men of books. It has already put together the philosophy of this history, and is busy laying down its essential landmarks.

Law, in its quality of guarantee of the results of pillage, slavery and exploitation, has followed the same phrases of development as capital; twin brother and sister, they have advanced hand in hand, sustaining one another with the suffering of mankind. In every country in Europe their history is approximately the same. It has differed only in detail; the main facts are alike; and to glance at the development of law in France or Germany is to know its essential traits, its phases of development, in most of the European nations.

What does the school do to children? Gatto asserts the following in “Dumbing Us Down”:

1. It confuses the students. It presents an incoherent ensemble of information that the child needs to memorize to stay in school. Apart from the tests and trials, this programming is similar to the television; it fills almost all the “free” time of children. One sees and hears something, only to forget it again.
2. It teaches them to accept their class affiliation.
3. It makes them indifferent.
4. It makes them emotionally dependent.
5. It makes them intellectually dependent.
6. It teaches them a kind of self-confidence that requires constant confirmation by experts (provisional self-esteem).
7. It makes it clear to them that they cannot hide, because they are always supervised.

He also draws a contrast between communities and “networks,” with the former being healthy, and schools being examples of the latter; in the United States, networks have become an unhealthy substitute for community.

In the below video titled “The Ultimate History Lesson: A Weekend with John Taylor Gatto (Hour 4 of 5)” Gatto goes into more details on what school does to children.

Here are a few more quotes that that I include for further reference later:

A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate. Thomas Jefferson: Rights of British America, 1774

The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them. Thomas Jefferson: Rights of British America, 1774

Under the law of nature, all men are born free. Thomas Jefferson: Legal Argument, 1770

In antiquity slaves were, in all honesty called slaves. In the middle ages, they took the name of serfs. Nowadays they are called wage earners. Mikhail Bakunin

If the individual has a right to govern himself, all external government is tyranny. Hence the necessity of abolishing the State. Benjamin Tucker

Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.Marvin Simkin

I came across the below quote that basically summarizes some of my own findings:

The organizing principle of centralism was necessary only for the individual ruler who, from one place, wanted to dominate larger countries at the same time in order to squeeze interest from them. To this end, they were compelled to appoint ministers to their courts, and to send statesmen to the provinces.
Now one must always keep in mind that this was not necessary for the life of the subjugated peoples, but that this central government was created only by the ruler who conquered power for the purpose of collecting taxes and later influencing peoples opinion in favor of the ruler. Augustin Souchy

One argument people often bring up in support of the system is that it’s the corrupt people (in government) who are the problem and not the system. They claim that once the right people get into positions of power in government, things will change and improve.

While US presidents “come and go,” its political landscape is hardly prone to changes, Putin said, noting that the incumbent US leader “is steering a traditional US policy.”

This political invariability can be ascribed to the sprawling US bureaucratic machine, which imposes rigid constraints on every neophyte leader as soon as he rises to power, Putin argued.

“When a person is elected, they may have some ideas. Then people with briefcases arrive, well dressed, wearing dark suits… These people start explaining how things are done. And instantly, everything changes,” Putin elaborated, noting that no administration is able to escape this trap, which significantly narrows its room for maneuver.

Putin argued that former US President Obama also fell victim to the system as he was not able to deliver on his pre-election promise to close the infamous Guantanamo Bay prison. Describing Obama as a “forward-thinking man,” Putin said that he has no doubt that Obama genuinely wanted to follow through his pledge, but failed even though the controversial Cuban prison was known primarily for torture and a practice of unlawful detentions.

Going into the system, becoming part of it, and hoping to solve the problems it creates is a futile undertaking. First, you become part of the problem by becoming part of the system. Second, the system will never allow anyone to introduce changes that go against its fundamental purpose of exploitation and enslavement. You can try, but will face great opposition, and may end up like John F. Kennedy.

I recently came across Anselme Bellegarrigue, a French individualist anarchist, born between 1820 and 1825 in Toulouse. Here’s from his Anarchist Manifesto (1850):

Indeed:

Who says anarchy, says negation of government;
Who says negation of government, says affirmation of the people;
Who says affirmation of the people, says individual liberty;
Who says individual liberty, says sovereignty of each;
Who says sovereignty of each, says equality;
Who says equality, says solidarity or fraternity;
Who says fraternity, says social order;

By contrast:

Who says government, says negation of the people;
Who says negation of the people, says affirmation of political authority;
Who says affirmation of political authority, says individual dependency;
Who says individual dependency, says class supremacy;
Who says class supremacy, says inequality;
Who says inequality, says antagonism;
Who says antagonism, says civil war;
From which it follows that who says government, says civil war.Yes, anarchy is order, government is civil war.

And a quote from him that I like that agrees with many of the quotes that I mentioned above from Qaddafi:

Government is not a fact, but a fiction. The only permanent and eternal fact is people.

The State is the great fiction through which everyone endeavours to live at the expense of everyone else.

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.

When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law.

Legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on. All these plans as a whole — with their common aim of legal plunder — constitute socialism.

If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?

On an interesting note, the American IRS (Internal Revenue Service) was founded on July 1st 1862, exactly one year before the date when slavery was supposedly “abolished” on July 1st 1983. From the Hazzard circular mentioned above we can see the bankers planning in 1862 to replace slavery with a new system based on money and taxation. So the new system of slavery (of which the IRS was a central part) was in place a year before the old one was “abolished”.

Your last presents one of them in a new point of view, that of the commencement of the ward schools as likely to render the law unpopular to the country. It must be a very inconsiderate and rough process of execution that would do this. My idea of the mode of carrying it into execution would be this: Declare the county ipso facto divided into wards for the present, by the boundaries of the militia captaincies; somebody attend the ordinary muster of each company, having first desired the captain to call together a full one. There explain the object of the law to the people of the company, put to their vote whether they will have a school established, and the most central and convenient place for it; get them to meet and build a log school-house; have a roll taken of the children who would attend it, and of those of them able to pay. These would probably be sufficient to support a common teacher, instructing gratis the few unable to pay. If there should be a deficiency, it would require too trifling a contribution from the county to be complained of; and especially as the whole county would participate, where necessary, in the same resource. Should the company, by its vote, decide that it would have no school, let them remain without one. The advantages of this proceeding would be that it would become the duty of the alderman elected by the county, to take an active part in pressing the introduction of schools, and to look out for tutors. If, however, it is intended that the State government shall take this business into its own hands, and provide schools for every county, then by all means strike out this provision of our bill. I would never wish that it should be placed on a worse footing than the rest of the State. But if it is believed that these elementary schools will be better managed by the governor and council, the commissioners of the literary fund, or any other general authority of the government, than by the parents within each ward, it is a belief against all experience. Try the principle one step further, and amend the bill so as to commit to the governor and council the management of all our farms, our mills, and merchants’ stores. No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly the functions he is competent to. Let the national government be entrusted with the defence of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations; the State governments with the civil rights, laws, police, and administration of what concerns the State generally; the counties with the local concerns of the counties, and each ward direct the interests within itself. It is by dividing and subdividing these republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations, until it ends in the administration of every man’s farm by himself; by placing under every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best. What has destroyed……

Statism is the worlds problem. It stems from the Catholic Church and carried out by the Jesuits. They are actually whats behind the joke word “illuminati”. History proves this over and over from Constantinople to Rome to present day. Statists are religious to the core and have been completely indoctrinated by the Jesuits of Rome. They have literally no ability to critically think or question whats happening. They merely wrap themselves up in a corporations flag and yell racism until they get what they want. Malignant narcissistic sociopaths control the world, but are you really surprised in a sin fallen world with the greatest deceiver as their leader?

this is just ignorant of History. It is only the Church which outlawed Usury for 1550 yrs until the heretic Protestant Reform paid for by Talmudic Jews, turned Christian against Christian in order to clear the way for their Usury once again. Then they infiltrated the Church with more talmudic and gay Agents to dismantle it from within, to this day. Don’t you know JFK as a Catholic was the one who tried to undo the Banks, and took some bullets in the neck for it? WTF u are so dumbass clueless, just buying into the standard Talmudic-Controlled mass media narrative as if the Catholics are the Statists. Sure, some of them are, namely the ones who are “Catholic” in name only but who are secretly Talmudic / Freemason. But don’t u know Freemasonry is controlled by Talmudic Princes, not Catholic? WTF?!! dumb prole.

See Dr. E Michael Jones ‘Barren Metal: A History of the Conflict Between Labor and Usury’

I’m 100% with you about exposing the Talmudic Usury Class. But your promotion of Venus Project is pimping atheistic Communism. There is a reason why Scripture promotes Judges and a Sannhedrin or Apostles form of self-government with a theological and psalmist musical hierarchy guiding, is because the average citizen is a dumb fuck lazy moron prole. Plato already exposed them as people of the Cave, and Scripture exposed them as a mob of Cain’s, always attacking / killing / slandering those with higher Gifts of the Spirit. So your presumption that most people are “fundamentally good” is completely ignorant of historical and recorded Evidence.

Instead of pimping Venus atheist Communism (why the fuck would you do that??), why not return to Feder vs. Schacht in 1933 Germany, except add the element of Morals, such as mandatory government protection of ALL forms of labor (not just dumb autobahn laborers or dam builders), but also labor for home intellectuals, Bach types, Michaelangelo types, homemakers…all the very people that atheistic economics of both capitalism and socialism ignore.

Just call for an Amendment for the world’s Constitutions to rescind the “sanctity of [usurious] contracts” hidden in our “laws”. Don’t pimp atheistic Venus projects, OK? Because under such a dumbass ignorant system, a pipe organist or michaelangelo would be forced to apply to a “Board of Ignorant French Revolutionaries” for approval for that $5m pipe organ, and for a just wage to feed his 20 kids. The typical prole “Board” members (your so-called “demos”) would have the typical construction-worker mud-boots hand-in-hammer mentality, and tell the Genius Artist…”Why don’t you WORK for a living at the mines like the rest of us?” They would tell Tesla the same thing.

It’s always People of the Cave who bring down the Geniuses…even the pagan Plato knew that without having seen Scripture. But Scripture affirms it as well as History. What are you blind? WTF “Venus Project” OMG OMG, so way off it’s not even funny.
